Another world


It's tropical here, 75 degrees I suppose daytime average. Today we went to the shopping center that has the coffee shop, and later Phil and I walked to the local market and back. Such another world here. Note the matatus (taxis), one spewing dark exhaust and the other off the pavement and full of passengers.

I will meet with Fred Mutebi on Thursday to figure out our art program. It was nice to meet Harriet, baby Odin's nanny, and the other workers here, they are all so gracious and nice, and proud of Uganda. The foliage is so lush and lovely, and the bird wake-up sounds are a treat. There was a short but vigorous afternoon rain.
